    Rain Forest Cafe

    Has anyone dined here ?

    We have always looked but it has been so busy we would have had to wait for ages for a table.

    Is it worth waiting for ?

    No-I've never felt enticed in. It's always looked too busy and too expensive for what ultimately is fast food.

    When we want snacky food- we usually have a chic-fila garden salad and then save ourselves for a slap-up on a night!

    The best Disney food we found was The Crystal Palace at the MK with the Winnie the Pooh characters.
    All u can eat for about $17-good fun and food pretty ok.

    We went there once and actually really enjoyed it, its great for the kids and good fun to watch the animals take it in turns to do something. Its a bit more pricey than your normal restaurant but worth a visit I would say.
    Downtown Disney is a good place to spend an evening aswell.

    We went last time we were in Florida and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our 3 year old was a bit scared of the gorillas at first but when he got used to it he liked them.

    Every time we went to another restaurant for the rest of the vacation he kept asking us where the gorillas were!

    It's a bit pricey and the food wasn't the best we have had (it was good though).

    We have eaten there once and would definitely say it was worth waiting for. It is different from normal restaurants and made a nice change.

    We ate there 2 years ago and food was so bad we haven't been back.

    However, they have now changed the menu, but we can't decide if we want to spend so much money and risk it!

    We've been to the one at Downtown Disney about three times now and the food has always been excellent. The servers are very efficient (I know they want the tips!) and all the various goings on in the rainforest are very entertaining.

    Definately go at least once once.

    Hi Malcolm
    I agree we've always had a good time, although we prefer the Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom.

    We ate at the Animal Kingdom's Rain Forest Cafe this afternoon, first time we've been. We only waited a couple of minutes for our table. Food was absolutely fantastic, albeit over-priced for the type of food they serve. However the animatronics, simulated thunderstorm (ironically there was a real one going on outside) and the great family atmosphere made it all feel worth the extra expense.

    Only thing that let the place down was the restrooms (well the Gents restroom) which I thought was not up to the expected standard of cleanliness.

    Dave.
